Congestion on Interstate 75 northbound and Interstate 24 westbound and eastbound appears to have cleared after delays caused by accidents and a high volume of traffic today, according to the Tennessee Department of Transportation's Smartway website.

A crash on I-24 westbound in downtown Chattanooga which blocked the left lane and high traffic in places on I-24 eastbound caused delays.

At the 182 mile marker heading westbound on I-24 a disabled vehicle slowed traffic.

I-75 northbound in Hamilton County also experienced high traffic volumes at the Georgia-Tennessee state line.

Farther north on I-75 southbound, a disabled vehicle and multi-vehicle crash delayed traffic in the East Brainerd area near the Highway 153 interchange.
